After spending most of UCLA’s fall camp at right tackle, sophomore Jeff Baca learned redshirt sophomore Mike Harris would get the starting nod ahead of him. Baca, down but not out, charged on and rotated in with Harris and left guard Hasiak.

Baca does not have a preference between the positions, but said the team’s zone blocking schemes make such movement possible.

“Being in this scheme is pretty universal, everybody almost has the same job,” Baca said. “That helps a lot, switching positions. The gap zone part of it, I wouldn’t say it’s easier, but if you just play your gaps, you’re good.”
